DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Quartercentury of Cremation in North America Seeing that the matter embodied herein consti tutes merely a report of progress, as set forth in the title-page, a preface thereto does not seem to be demanded; and I should omit this customary intro duction, were it not that a medium is thus provided for an acknowledgment of the courtesies received while collecting the ingredients. In but one instance has there been exhibited a trace of reservation, and this in the Union's largest city. Wherever else infor mation has been sought, whether west or east of the Atlantic, it has been rendered freely and fully. In deed, the greatest difficulty encountered has been to select, from the riches obtained, that which could be brought within the compass of the projected compila tion. Those to whom I am indebted are so many that I dare not try to name them, lest one should be by chance omitted. I can only, in this. Impersonal way, express my thanks to each and all, and hope.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Just one hundred years ago, Americans almost universally condemned cremation. Today, nearly one-quarter of Americans choose to be cremated. The practice has gained wide acceptance as a funeral rite, in both our private and public lives, as the cremations of icons such as John Lennon and John F. Kennedy Jr. show. Purified by Fire tells the fascinating story of cremation's rise from notoriety to legitimacy and takes a provocative new look at important transformations in the American cultural landscape over the last 150 years. Stephen Prothero synthesizes a wide array of previously untapped source material, including newspapers, consumer guides, mortician trade journals, and popular magazines such as Reader's Digest to provide this first historical study of cremation in the United States. He vividly describes many noteworthy events—from the much-criticized first American cremation in 1876 to the death and cremation of Jerry Garcia in the late twentieth century. From the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era to the baby boomers of today, this book takes us on a tour through American culture and traces our changing attitudes toward death, religion, public health, the body, and the environment.
